Rangers are reportedly one of two potential destinations for Tom Lawrence as they ramp up their summer shopping.
An exit from Ibrox is on the cards as key attacker Joe Aribo closes in on a £10 million move to Premier League club Southampton. Lawrence could be one way of replacing him and according to Football Scotland, he has been identified as a target for boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Aribo's versatility was key for the Dutchman and the Derby forward could help them replace him.
The 28-year-old was made captain at Derby County last year by Wayne Rooney as they fought off Championship relegation amid a backdrop of financial woes at Pride Park. Eventually the drop did beckon and Lawrence is a free agent after not renewing his deal. West Brom have been ruled out as a landing spot but fellow second tier club Sheffield United are believed to hold an interest.

Capped 23 times by Wales, he has made 263 appearances in England's Championship and featured for Derby 184 times, netting 37 goals and 25 assists.
Croatian striker Antonio Colak is also expected to arrive in Light Blue after a fee in the region of around £1.8 million was agreed with PAOK to bring him into Glasgow.
